Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à la commande de compresseurs d'air qui est fondée sur la température de l'air comprimé par le compresseur d'air. La température de l'air comprimé par le compresseur d'air est détectée, cette température détectée de l'air comprimé est ensuite comparée à une température limite prédéterminée. Le compresseur d'air est désactivé lorsque la température détectée dépasse la température limite. Cette température limite peut être sélectionnée de manière à inhiber la formation de carbone provoquée par la décomposition thermique de l'huile.
